From November 2015 to January 2020, he was a member of the Supervisory Boards of Ducati and Lamborghini, as well as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Volkswagen Group in Italy.
Recall that Carlos Ghosn has been under investigation in Japan since November 2018. Back then, Nissan accused the chairman of the board of directors of financial fraud; Renault and Mitsubishi joined the charges later. He was twice released on bail.
On December 30, 2019, it became known about the flight of the former top manager to Lebanon, where his parents live. Mr. Ghosn later stated that he had fled from the “unjust and political persecution” he was subjected to in Japan.
